Ex-Sulu lawmaker on misdeclared SALN case: I was politicized

enatorial aspirant and former Sulu Rep. Nur-Ana "Princess Lady Ann" Sahidulla on Tuesday denied misdeclaring her joint 2009 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN) for which she was indicted by the Ombudsman. "Na-politicize ako, ginawan lang ako, pinaimbestigahan na yung tao, walang nagsasabi na may ganitong pangalan, from different municipality wala din. Parang political distraction lang yun," she told radio DZMM's senatorial candidates' interview "Ikaw Na Ba." (I was politicized, it was made up, the person was investigated but no one said that there was a name like this, even from a different municipality. It was just like a political distraction.)

Chavez vs Chavez

Commission on Elections (Comelec) officials got a glimpse of election violence yesterday as protagonists in a disqualification case nearly exchanged blows right in front of them at the case’s resolution. Melchor Chavez, who ran and lost in the 2001 senatorial race, and Buenaventura Miranda, the lawyer for senatorial candidate and former Solicitor General Francisco Chavez got into a staredown in what seemed to be the prelude to fisticuffs until police officers were called in to separate the two.

DQ filed vs Chiz Escudero, partymates

Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero is facing possible disqualification from the Sorsogon gubernatorial race for allegedly violating election regulations. Cause-oriented group Bayan at Mamamayan (BM) on Friday filed with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) a petition seeking the disqualification not only of Escudero, but also of his partymates Mayor Manuel Fortes, Rep. Evelina Escudero and congressional aspirant Ditas Ramos of the Nationalist People Coalition (NPC). The group accused Escudero and his companions of donating P50,000 to the Our Lady of Peñafrancia Seminary (OLPS) as payment for the use of the church’s premises in a proclamation rally.

Petition to declare Gordon as having forfeited his seat in the Senate after accepting the chairmanship of the Philippine National Red Cross Board of Governors, in violation of Sec. 13, Article VI of the Constitution.

Petition to declare Gordon and two others in contempt of court, due to alleged forum shopping by Gordon in the two petitions he filed to prevent his ouster as chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority upon the change of administration from President Fidel V.

The constitutionality of Sec. 13, par.

On June 22, 1993, the Supreme Court declared that Gordon remains Mayor of Olongapo City, and his acts as SBMA official are not necessarily null and void; he may be considered a de facto officer Any and all per diems, allowances and other emoluments which may have been received by Gordon pursuant to his appointment may be retained by him.

Gordon vs. Judge Veridiano

The issue before the Court is the conflict between the Food and Drug Administration and the mayor of Olongapo City over the power to grant and revoke licenses for the operation of drug stores in the said city. While conceding that the FDA possesses such power, the mayor claims he may nevertheless, in the exercise of his own power, prevent the operation of drug stores previously permitted by the former. The Supreme Court declared that the challenged Orders are MODIFIED in the sense that the suspension of Mayor's Permit No. 1955 shall be considered valid but drug stores return to their original sites as specified in the FDA licenses and the mayor's permits or until the request for transfer, if made by the private respondents/owners, is approved by the petitioner/Mayor Gordon.

Sandigan junks graft cases vs Honasan over alleged PDAF misuse

The Sandiganbayan has junked graft cases against now Department of Information and Communication Technology Secretary Gregorio Honasan and his co-accused in relation to the alleged misuse of his Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF) when he was still senator in 2012. In its 52-page ruling, the anti-graft court’s 2nd Division granted the demurrer to evidence filed by Honasan, Michael Benjamin, Mehol Kiram Sadain, Fedelina Aldanese, Olga Sajise Galido, Giovanni Manuel Gaerlan, Galay Makalinggan, and Aurora Aragon-Mabang. The court said, “the evidence of the prosecution failed to sufficiently establish the essential elements of the crime charged and to overcome the presumption of innocence in favor of the accused.”
